By studying Genesis 32 where God had to break Jacob down before he blessed him and built him up, we can see at least 4 common signs that often mean God is also breaking you down so he can build you back up and bless you.
There are many biblical steps God will lead you to take that will cause you to finally meet the one he has for you. But before all of these important steps, there is one step that must be taken first. I’m not saying that if you take this one step God will for sure bless you with marriage. What I am saying is that you can’t have a godly, blessed marriage one day without first taking this one step.
We can choose to get married even when we are not really ready. But throughout the Bible God gives us principles for how to have a successful relationship for his glory.
So here are 5 really important qualities God will develop in the Christian before releasing them into marriage. These are not the only 5 qualities needed to have a great relationship. These are just 5 really important ones.
Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged. Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil. Your country lies desolate; your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence foreigners devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.” (Isaiah 1:4-7)
Here are 4 things God will do when a nation turns from him.
